Ireland of today is sharply divided as income disparity widens

SO, this is Ireland.

It’s a bit like that old John Lennon song, isn’t it — another year over, a new one just begun.

Well maybe not another year, but another census publication (it’s actually called “This is Ireland”), and side by side with that, another EU-SILC report. They were both published in the last week, and they complement each other beautifully.
